Contentful Backup Azure Web Job

Question

I want to have an Azure Web Job that will run periodically and create Contentful Spaces backups in Azure Blob Storage.

I know that Contentful has their own CLI but not sure how can I run the CLI in an Azure Web Job using a .NET Core Console Application. Is that possible ?

I also found that they have their own API: https://www.contentful.com/developers/docs/references/content-management-api/ can I use this API to export Contentful data to a JSON file using .NET Core Console Application ?

PS: All the backups need to be done in a way that I can import the data again if necessary.

Answer 1

This is not a direct answer, but suggestion for you.

I'm not familiar with Contentful, but for azure webjobs, there are 2 things you should remember:

1.If you're using .NET core console application, first, you can include all the logic in the console application and make sure it can work locally.

2.You should avoid these limitations(especially no UI operation) when publish to azure.

So in your .NET core console application, you can use api or sdk and make sure it works locally, then follow this article to create the proper webjobs.

Hope it helps.
